EVENTS
Showcase Parade
Lehi Heritage Day kicks off with the Showcase Parade featuring the year’s honorees as well as 20 classic cars and bikes. Parades date back to the very earliest days in Lehi and were instituted to promote community. Traveling from 600 North up Center Street to the Legacy Center, the parade is a beautiful salute to those who’ve given tremendous amounts of service to Lehi as well as to our earliest settlers.
Honoree Celebration
The mayor and city council members present each Lehi Heritage Day honoree with his or her name in the Lehi Heritage Day Monument in the Walk of Fame Garden in front of the Legacy Center by the mayor. View past honorees here.
Honoree Reception
Lehi Heritage Day honorees gather in the reception rooms in the north wing of the Legacy Center to greet family, friends and the public. Displays highlight the honorees.

A small army of Archive and community members come together to create exhibits, display artifacts, carry out activities and so forth to bring the year’s theme to fruition.

Have an idea for someone to nominate to be a Lehi Heritage Day 2025 honoree?
Lehi Heritage Day is the brainchild of John Knollin Haws, founder of the Lehi Historical Society and Archives. His goal was to share Lehi’s beautiful past as well as celebrate those working to make Lehi the great place it is today.
In 2012, Haws was a man with a dream. Armed with four boxes of history from Lehi historian Richard Van Wagoner and thousands of items he had collected throughout his life, he formed the Friends of the Archives with the help of Judy Hansen, Rhea Lewis, Lynette Harris and Mike Southwick. The first Lehi Heritage Day came to fruition in 2016. John died in 2017.
